On Leftism

It appears to me that The Left in general is to use a favorite phrase of Ayn Rand's faking reality.  Or to put it another way The Left in general routinely engages in the act of evasion.  They evade knowledge of reality. They refuse to know the truth about such toxic doctrines as Socialism and Islam.  They willfully blank out knowledge of what happens to those who through inability to resist or through the act of surrender are subject to the whims of predatory savages. They condemn as an act of aggression the act of self defense.  They treat their contempt for the lives and property of their fellow citizens as their primary qualification for those public offices that were established for the purpose of protecting the lives and property of the citizens.  Then they're totally mystified as to why we refuse to vote for them.
